Counselor Resources

Free Publications and Mailing List

The Federal Student Aid Publications Ordering System (FSAPubs) gives you access to a wealth of free publications and application tools that explain our programs. You will find the resources that can help you identify and obtain the financial aid for which your students qualify.

Here’s how to use FSAPubs:

Step One: Join our mailing list
If you do not have a mailing list (ML) number or you’re not sure whether you do, call FSAPubs at 1-800-394-7084. ML numbers are available to high schools, TRIO and GEAR UP programs, libraries, and nonprofits (which include school districts, associations, tribal governments, etc.)

Having a mailing list number does not mean that all Federal Student Aid publications will automatically be mailed to you. In fact, the vast majority of them won’t. High schools, TRIO and GEAR UP programs, and BIA schools will receive the Counselors and Mentors Handbook each year. See below for information about ordering other items.

Having a mailing list number does mean that you will receive notices (by e-mail, postal mail, or both) about important changes to the federal student aid programs or application process. We urge you to keep your information updated so that we can reach you.

Step Two: Order free forms and publications
Using your ML number as identification, you can order the following free items (and more) at www.FSAPubs.org or by e-mailing orders@fsapubs.org:
